Antifreeze

Antifreeze-based coolant is crucial for street vehicles. Formulated with ethylene glycol or propylene glycol, antifreeze reduces the freezing point and raises the boiling point, so the coolant remains liquid under wider temperature extremes. Most antifreeze formulas also include ingredients to fight corrosion inside your cooling system, and to lubricate the seals inside the water pump. Antifreeze is available as a concentrate (to be mixed 50/50 with water) or as a ready-to-use pre-mixed coolant.

Antifreeze

Antifreeze coolant should be checked periodically, especially in cooler climates, as its corrosion-fighting properties decline over time. Be sure to keep it out of reach of children and animals!

Race Engine Coolant

There are lots of reasons to avoid putting antifreeze in competition engines:

They run much hotter, and antifreeze doesn’t actually transfer heat efficiently enough to make a difference
Race cars don’t usually have to park in below-freezing temperatures
Antifreeze robs motor oil of its lubricating properties, and under higher racing pressures, the risk of leaks and contamination is much higher
Some tracks and sanctioning bodies have restrictions regarding glycol-based coolants due to safety concerns

Race engines can use plain water as coolant, but you can also do better. Water-based coolants with surfactants to reduce surface tension transfer heat even more efficiently, and there are waterless coolants, too. Summit also carries coolant additives that can improve the properties of your existing coolant.
